Prokshino is a future Moscow Metro station on the Sokolnicheskaya line that is under construction. The city plans to complete construction and open the station in 2019 as part of an extension that includes Stolbovo, Filatov Lug, and Olkhovaya.^[1][2]

It will be in the Kommunarka area of Sosenskoye Settlement in the Novomoskovsky Administrative Okrug southwest of Moscow. It will be an aboveground station along the Solntsevo-Butovo-Vidnoye Highway. The name Prokshino refers to a former village where the station will stand.^[3]

History

The city government decided to extend the line to Stolbovo in February 2016; an unexpected decision given that the city initially planned to extend the line only to Filatov Lug. The initial cost of the line was about 45 billion rubles.^[4] In July 2017, the city government confirmed that the extension would move forward, allowing construction to continue.^[5]

In March 2017, the city began clearing space around the planned station to accommodate the construction.^[6]

In 2022, the city plans to complete a tram line that connects the station to the town of Troitsk.^[3]

Design and Layout

The station will have a single lobby with entrances on either side of the highway. Passengers will access the station via elevated walkways over the highway.^[3]
